Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 After a little talking with them, he said vnto the bishop of Elie; My lord you haue verie good strawbe|ries at your garden in Holborne, I require you let vs haue a messe of them. Gladlie my lord (quoth he) would God I had some better thing as readie to your pleasure as that! And therewithall in all the hast he sent his seruant for a messe of strawberies. The protector set the lords fast in communing, & therevp|on praieng them to spare him for a little while, depar|ted thense. And soone after one houre,The beha [...] of the lord p [...]tector in the assemblie of the lords. betwéene ten & eleuen he returned into the chamber amongst them all, changed with a woonderfull soure angrie counte|nance, knitting the browes, frowning and fretting, and gnawing on his lips: and so sat him downe in his place.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 All the lords were much dismaid and sore maruel|led at this maner of sudden change, and what thing should him aile. Then, when he had sitten still a while, thus he began: What were they worthie to haue that compasse and imagine the destruction of me, being so néere of bloud vnto the king, and protector of his roiall person and his realme? At this question, all the lords sat sore astonied, musing much by whome this question should be meant, of which euerie man wist himselfe cléere. Then the lord chamberlaine (as he that for the loue betwéene them thought he might be boldest with him) answered and said, that they were worthie to be punished as heinous traitors, whatsoeuer they were. And all the other affirmed the same. That is (quoth he) yonder sor [...]er [...]sse my bro|thers wife, and other with hir (meaning the queene.)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 At these words manie of the other lords were greatlie abashed, that fauoured hir. But the lord Ha|stings was in his mind better content, that it was mooued by hir, than by anie other whome he loued better: albeit his heart somewhat grudged, that he was not afore made of counsell in this matter, as he was of the taking of hir kinred, and of their put|ting to death, which were by his assent before deuised to be beheaded at Pomfret this selfe same daie, in which he was not ware that it was by other deuised, that he himselfe should be beheaded the same daie at London. Then said the protector: Ye shall all sée in what wise that sorceresse, and that other witch of hir councell Shores wife, with their affinitie, haue by their sorcerie and witchcraft wasted my bodie. And therwith he plucked vp his dublet sléeue to his elbow vpon his left arme, where he shewed a weerish withe|red arme, and small; as it was neuer other.
